Only 6DPO and I feel like I’m going crazy! Anyone else with me?

Hi everyone so I got my peak on 23rd January and I think I ovulated on 24th.. I’m now 6DPO ovulation. I tested this morning and obviously I couldn’t see anything, but I’m already planning how to tell my partner and looking at baby clothes.. what is wrong with me! Anybody else? And the wait is dragging too!x

Good luck everyone, hoping for some good news for at least one of us!

Sorry for TMI but - Me and my husband did it this morning, afterwards I had a bit of very light pink with the residual ‘juices’ (sorry) when I went to the loo after. Does anyone know what this might mean?

If I’m feeling positive I’m thinking it could be irritation from my cervix thickening/softening up to prepare for a baby cos I am pregnant? Or implantation bleeding?

And then on the negative side - it could just be for no reason or very early period (even though I’m never early) or very early mc.

I hate this wait!

I was going to wait until tomorrow to test, but caved and tested today. Still negative, but still only 9 dpo so it could still change. I'll give it another 2 days, so test on Tuesday. I've only got 3 tests left and one is a digital I won't use until AF is late, so that gives me a test Tuesday and one on Thursday, then digital Saturday if AF hasn't turned up

6/7 DPO for me...half way there! Trying so hard not to symptom spot as last month I had so many unusual for me symptoms and period still rocked up 🙄

ChristmasJumpers · 31/01/2021 09:47

5 or 6 DPO for me, AF due 7th Feb! Resolved to try and not test until AF. I have lost all faith in "pregnancy symptoms" as I seem to be able to conjure them up and they never lead to a BFP 😂

Good luck everyone, let's hope we can keep each other sane

Hello! I'm 5dpo, CD28. AF booked in for anywhere between the 8-11th Feb but I'm feeling like I may get an earlier arrival as my cycles have been all over the place.

Jordie24 · 31/01/2021 07:43

Hey everyone, sounds like we are all around the same time then! We can wait it out together :)
7dpo today.. tested again! Haha negative upto now. Only using IC tests, trying not to buy exspensive ones until clear 2 lines on IC! Xx

@Pitstop1986 @Bellesjp @Cafeaulait27
Hey ladies welcome to the wait club... good news is you’re all more than half way!!

Stay strong ladies, sending BFP vibes for when you do decide to go for it X

Cafeaulait27 · 30/01/2021 22:52

I don’t know why my phone wrote ‘ate’ - I meant 8 dpo!!!! How weird?!

Cafeaulait27 · 30/01/2021 22:40

I’m ate dpo! Period due Friday. Gonna buy some tests tomorrow, but try not to test until I’m due...

Bellesjp · 30/01/2021 22:27

I’m 7dpo, half way through tww! Feel like this month has gone quicker as last month I was stuck in with covid so it was all I thought about 😂

Pitstop1986 · 30/01/2021 21:55

I'm 8 dpo. Hating this waiting game. Already tested yesterday. BFN (surprise surprise) I just want to fast forwards a week!

I'm going to test again Monday. Just in case!

lottieb92 · 30/01/2021 19:58

@Jordie24 we have a 5 year old and he was conceived magically when we were in our last year of uni haha! I always laugh because we only saw each other once the month of Christmas 2014! And that one time, I fell pregnant. Talk about luck, I think I was the one they warned of at school 🤣

Our wedding was postponed at the start of Jan because of covid. So we just decided to jump into trying as we were planning too in April anyway. Luckily I have been tracking my ovulation etc for a long time as I was preparing to try this year anyway, this is just a bit earlier.
I wasn’t 100% but hoping now I’ve found these helpful threads I can be better prepared if this isn’t my month. (Which is unlikely now I know the ins and outs!)

I’m hoping I can remain level headed these next few weeks- and tips appreciated 🤣

Jordie24 · 30/01/2021 19:42

Hi @lottieb92 Yes I’ve also learnt things on here I didn’t know about too! I’ve even worked out when my 12 week scan would be if I was pregnant too! I know so strange how they make a big deal of using contraception to not get pregnant and you panic over everything when actually there’s only a short time each month u can conceive! And I’m ttc baby number 3, I have 2 DD already. But this is cycle number 4 in ttc. With my other 2 I conceived DD1 1st month off the pill and DD2 2nd month of the pill so this is the longest for me so far. Is this your first baby?xx

Hi @Jordie24!! Yes ... 🤣 I am 5DPO and Due AF 11th Feb.

And I trust me. I am the same. I didn’t think I would be until I stepped foot on MumsNet, it’s been a blessing to have ladies to talk too! But it’s taught me things I didn’t know, and as soon as I suddenly clocked you could take a test waaaay earlier than the skipped period- that’s it I’m obsessed 🤣 Silly I know, but after years of trying not to get pregnant- it’s a new ballgame to me!
(I knew about the 6 days before, but I just assumed I’d take a test when i missed AF!)

This is our first time TTC, how about you? I haven’t tested yet, trying to hold off as long as possible. But I’m also very optimistic and planning that reveal, I don’t think that’s a bad thing at all! 🤣
